The
Ignorance of General Mattis and the Fatah Tautology

On Friday, US
Secretary of Defense James Mattis visited Israel as part of a tour of the
region that will bring him to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Djibouti. The
declared purpose of Mattis’s trip is to “reaffirm key US military alliances, engage
with strategic partners in the Middle East and Africa, and discuss cooperative
efforts to counter destabilizing activities and defeat extremist terror
organizations.”

Ahead of his visit,
Mattis should have spent some time considering the hunger strike being carried
out by the Palestinian terrorists imprisoned by Israel. A serious consideration
of the strike will tell him more about the nature of the Palestinian conflict
with Israel than a hundred “expert” briefings.

There are several
important things for Mattis to consider in relation to the strike.

The first thing he
needs to note is that all of the terrorists on strike are members of the Fatah
terrorist group. This fact should signal to General Mattis that Fatah is not a
normal political party. In fact, it is a terrorist organization that has a
political party. Is Mattis too blind to
consider that the strike is supported by the international Left? To understand, Mattis needs to recognize the
Fatah tautology.

But first, a bit of
background.

The terrorists’
strike is the brainchild of convicted mass murderer, Fatah leader and darling
of the international Left, Marwan Barghouti.
Barghouti is serving five life sentences in prison for murdering five
Israelis. Israeli authorities believe Barghouti was directly responsible for 37
murders, but were only able to convict him on five counts.

Barghouti’s role in
the killings goes far beyond the terrorist attacks he directly ordered. From 2000 until his arrest in 2002, Barghouti
was the commander and mastermind of the Palestinian terror war that began in
September 2000 after Fatah leader Yasser Arafat rejected Palestinian statehood
at Camp David.

In other words,
hundreds of Israelis are dead today because of Barghouti. But for the Left, none of this matters. For
the Left, Barghouti is a hero. The Left
insists Barghouti is a moderate and a peacemaker and that Israel should release
him and let him take over Fatah and the PLO from octogenarian Mahmoud Abbas.
There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.

They insist this
because of the Fatah tautology.

According to the
tautology, Fatah is “moderate” and “pro-peace.” Barghouti is a leader of Fatah.
Therefore Barghouti is moderate and pro-peace.
It’s just taqiyyah my friend. Since
Fatah is touted as “moderate” and “pro-peace,” it of course isn’t considered a
terrorist organization. And since it isn’t a terrorist organization, its
terrorists are seen as moderate peace-activists.

So despite the
protests of irritating Israeli terrorism victims, and the verdict of the court,
Barghouti isn’t a terrorist and none of the terrorists he commanded are
terrorists. None of them are terrorists because they are members of Fatah. And
Fatah is a moderate, pro-peace party. So they are moderate peace activists.

Under this tautological
reasoning, it makes sense for the US to give nearly a billion dollars a year in
aid to the terrorist Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority. It makes sense for
the Pentagon to train Palestinian “security forces” who double as Fatah
terrorists. It makes sense for the US to turn an ignorant blind eye to the fact
that the PA spends more than $300 million, or more than 7% of its
donor-financed budget, to pay salaries to terrorists in Israeli prisons and
their families.

After all, the
Palestinians can’t be incentivizing terrorism can they? They’re from Fatah and Fatah is ignorantly
seen as a moderate peace party. The
Fatah tautology is what informed The New York Times’ decision to publish an
op-ed by Barghouti in its Sunday edition in support of the prisoners’ strike. Not surprisingly, Barghouti slandered Israel
repeatedly in his essay.

Also not
surprisingly, in its tagline the Times described Barghouti as a “Palestinian
leader and parliamentarian.” It would be bad enough if this circular reasoning
was relegated to the fever swamps of the Left.

But it isn’t.

Numbered among Fatah’s most fervent supporters are Mattis and
his fellow generals at the US Military’s Central Command.

Mattis arrived in
Israel with a public record replete with anti-Israel statements that indicate
he swallowed the Fatah tautology hook, line and sinker. In 2013, shortly after retiring from his post
as Centcom commander, General Mattis resonated Barghouti and his leftist
supporters when he blamed Israel for the absence of peace. Speaking at the Aspen Institute Mattis said that the US must make the establishment of a state run by Fatah
terrorists – on land Israel controls, that it requires for its national
security and that it has sovereign rights to – a key US goal. In his words, “We’ve got to find a way to make the so-called
two-state solution that Democrat and Republican administrations have supported.
We’ve got to get there, and the chances for its starting are starting to ebb
because of the settlements and where they’re at, they’re going to make it
impossible to maintain the two-state option.”

Also echoing
Barghouti’s libels, Mattis said that if Israel continues to allow Jews to live
where they have rights to live and property rights to build then it will become
an “apartheid” state. Mattis is allegedly
a very smart, well-read man. And yet, his claims show that despite his so-called
intelligence, he has a stunning lack of intellectual historical curiosity about
Israel and the Palestinians and their positions in the wider Middle East.

When asked point
blank to name Israel’s capital, Mattis refused to acknowledge that Jerusalem is
the capital of Israel. Instead, he stunned lawmakers when he proclaimed that
Tel Aviv is the capital of the Jewish state. Mattis’s hostile view of Israel and the
Palestinians isn’t surprising. And the reason it isn’t surprising isn’t because
Mattis is a member in good standing of the lunatic Left. He’s not. Mattis’s ignorance is understandable because
he hails from the US Military’s Central Command. The Pentagon’s area command
responsible for the Middle East has one debilitating problem. It is a problem
that guarantees that Centcom officers will fail to understand the Middle East
and fail to ever win America’s wars in the region.

Centcom’s problem is
that it deliberately does not include Israel.
As far as Centcom is concerned, Israel is not part of the Middle East.
Israel is in Europe. Centcom officers
speak only to Arabs. And their Arab counterparts insist that Israel is the
problem.

Rather than
critically analyze this claim, Centcom officers internalize it. Rather than notice and get irritated by the
fact that due to their Arab colleagues’ antisemitism the US is forced to
pretend that Israel is located on a completely different continent, Mattis and
his underlings adopted their reason-bereft prejudice.

Rather than rebel
against their inability to communicate directly with their Israeli counterparts
and insist that they be permitted to bring the US’s closest ally in the Middle
East into their regional plans and analyses, Centcom officers have embraced the
irrational and strategically catastrophic view that the main source of
instability in the Middle East are the Israeli communities located beyond the
1949 armistice lines.

Mattis’s visit will
take him to Jerusalem, rather than Tel Aviv. No doubt Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu will mention that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital and express his
enthusiastic support for moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. But as far as Israel’s relations with the US
generally and the Pentagon specifically are concerned, moving the US embassy to
Jerusalem is of secondary importance.

The most important
contribution Israel can make to the US war against so-called “extremist
terrorism” and to the Trump administration’s efforts to “reaffirm key military
alliances,” is for Netanyahu to insist that the Trump administration stop
accepting the bigoted dictates of the Arabs. He must insist that Israel be
integrated into Centcom. Only when the American officers responsible for
determining US policies in the Middle East recognize that Israel is part of the
Middle East will they have the cognitive capacity to understand the realities
of the region. And the first reality that will become clear to them is that
despite the Fatah tautology, Fatah is a terrorist organization, not unlike ISIS.

THE BOTTOM LINE:Well the bottom line is, that none of these so-called military leaders
have ever read anything about the historical existence of Palestine. Truth is, that it doesn’t in fact exist. And
neither do Palestinians for that matter. The entire Palestinian issue is a
fraud. The
Historical land was called Canaan and the people Semites, yes Semites since
3200 BC Semites are Jews.Muslims
didn’t even exist until after 610 AD that is 3800 years later. Plus if you click on the highlighted hyperlink
you will discover that Palestine is a fictitious name given to the area after
the devastation of the Jewish nation by the Romans in 70 AD. There were no
people in history ever called Palestinians.

grade history book…come on!
